Successfully performed first TAVR on 80-year-old female patient with a history of CABG

Dr. Harshal Ingle is proud to share the successful completion of his first Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedure—marking a significant milestone in his journey of delivering advanced, minimally invasive cardiac care.

The case involved an 80-year-old female patient with a prior history of Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) who was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis. Given her advanced age and previous cardiac surgery, she was considered a high-risk candidate for repeat open-heart valve replacement, making conventional surgical options unsafe.

After careful evaluation, a minimally invasive TAVR approach was selected as the most appropriate treatment strategy. Dr. Ingle successfully implanted an Abbott Navitor balloon-expandable valve, achieving excellent procedural and hemodynamic outcomes. The intervention offered the patient a safer alternative with reduced surgical stress and faster recovery potential.

This achievement reflects not only technical excellence but also the strength of teamwork and collaboration. Dr. Ingle extends heartfelt appreciation to the multidisciplinary team whose seamless coordination—from imaging and anesthesia to nursing and post-procedural care—ensured a smooth and successful outcome.

This milestone represents a meaningful advancement in providing life-changing treatment options for high-risk patients and reinforces Dr. Harshal Ingle’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of modern cardiovascular care with precision, innovation, and compassion.
